1051330 Ugh! Okay, i was looking under the hood tonight with a flashlight and i have a couple of small obstacles... First, i was feeling around the bottom of the distributor looking for the cap bolt and i wasnt finding what i was expecing... Anybody know where its SUPPOSED to be on an '82...

1051342 ROFL!!! Sorry... I think you are thinking of TBI instead of TFI TBI is throttle body fuel injection and thats not what i'm installing.. TFI is Thick Film Integration which is similar to GM's HEI (High Energy Ignition) Basically what i am doing is an upgrade on the ingition...

1051785 white creamy and sticky? now now... thats not what you ORIGINALLY posted dingus I mean my jeep has been extremely happy with me since i put on my TFI, but not enough for that to happen Anyways, if water in the crank case would be the cause then that would explain a few things...

1051787 Yeah, the oil is normal colour, thats the first thing i checked because i know that if the oil is kinda milky that means coolant in the oil. The oil was fine, just this crap caked on the oil cap that caught my attention. As far as the valve cover, I've already put on a replacement...

1051824 I've never seen a turbo on any stock AMC engine. That's not to say that it can't be done, I mean the compression on a the 4.0l and 4.2l is low enough that you COULD pull it off, but i doubt you would really want to. Also judging by the commonality of engine swaps it would be much...

1051980 Sounds like a rather odd place to start modifying your jeep... You would be best off starting with the basic mods such as airflow and electrical before mucking about with any specific mechanical tweaking. If your jeep is fuel injected then you should probably start off with the...

1052098 What are you talking about.... My Jeep IS my tool box!!!!! Due to the amount of constant repairs one has to do on these things i pretty much have everything except my cordless drill in it right now... Wait a min... I think THATS in there too!!![addsig]

1052839 Here in Toronto, there are LOTS of jeeps that come out in the winter, but not many of them wave. I guess the problem is that its kinda hard to tell who's waving and who's flipping you off :D [addsig]

1053369 :-O :-O :-O :-O Why, what have they been saying?!?! Nothing good i hope... :roll: [addsig]

1053878 uhh.. i type fast... only took me about 15mins or so to write up. I tend to write alot of documentation and zillions of e-mails every day at work, so it kinda comes natural :-D :lol: :roll: [addsig]

1053904 Yup... It is a major improvement, but i have a little inductive sensor that i use to check the spark plug wires and i do notice that the sparks occasionally miss. .. But i can't help but wondering how to FURTHER modify this mod to take advantage of that points distributor swap that...

1053907 In a nutshell, its a high energy ignition coil and oversized distributor conversion kit you can order from these dudes... http://www.driveajeep.com [addsig]

1044353 I had one installed on my AMC 258 (4.2l inline 6) rather than have my carb rebuilt, and I immediately noticed a significant power gain. Top speeds on highway used to max out at about 120km/h (if i was lucky) right now i can get it up to almost 140km/h, plus theres actualy enough...

1044419 Actually according to that link, there are 3 options of the 150i4 Multiport fuel injection, Throttle body fuel injection, and a 1bbl carburaor... The 1bbl was introduced into the 84-86 cj-7's and the '87-90 yj's had the throttle body fuel injection. <TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER...

1041290 yeah, i'm kinda in the same boat. I'm a bit of a newbie and i'm lookin at either a CJ-7 or a YJ and i don't really know where to start as far as researching the two vehicles. I've seen that there are lots of mods and engine swap projects for the CJ-7 so i think thats probably...

1041384 I had a closer look at that spot where i replaced the heating tube and referenced it in the haynes repair manual. Its the PCV valve. The hose on it was totaly rotted and broken so i replaced it. According to the repair manual, there is supposed to be a filter inside the air filter...

1041411 Thanks for the link... I also found a good article on http://www.jeeptech.com that is nearly identical except for the pictures. It basicly confirms exactly what i suspected in that if one gauge goes bad, several gauges go bad which is what has happened here. Now if only i can find...
